Lee Kernaghan - Watching Lightning lyrics
[Lee Kernaghan - Watching Lightning lyrics]
A million miles of Pilbara
Surrounding you and me
Short horns under white gums
Pushing 46 degrees
I came up from the south coast
Just a suitcase in my hand
Now I'm out here fixing windmills
In the Nyiyaparli land
Watching lightning, out on the horizon
Waiting for the thunder
In the wonder of it all
Out on that verandah
Love was the only answer
We were lit up like that big old western sky
Watching lightning
The mustering was over
The crews have packed and gone
The wet season is brewing
You can feel it coming on
It begins out in the distance
From the south across the flat
The clouds begin to build up
Maybe love's a bit like that
Watching lightning, out on the horizon
Waiting for the thunder
In the wonder of it all
Out on that verandah
Love was the only answer
We were lit up like that big old western sky
Watching lightning
Watching lightning
There were hard times out at Hillside
And the family had to sell
We shifted to Carnarvon
By the Indian Ocean swell
We still got each other
But we miss the life we had
We still talk about the big plan
One day we'll be going back
Watching lightning, out on the horizon
Waiting for the thunder
In the wonder of it all
And out on that verandah
Love was the only answer
We were lit up like that big old western sky
Watching lightning
Watching lightning
Surrounding you and me
Short horns under white gums
Pushing 46 degrees
I came up from the south coast
Just a suitcase in my hand
Now I'm out here fixing windmills
In the Nyiyaparli land
Watching lightning, out on the horizon
Waiting for the thunder
In the wonder of it all
Out on that verandah
Love was the only answer
We were lit up like that big old western sky
Watching lightning
The mustering was over
The crews have packed and gone
The wet season is brewing
You can feel it coming on
It begins out in the distance
From the south across the flat
The clouds begin to build up
Maybe love's a bit like that
Watching lightning, out on the horizon
Waiting for the thunder
In the wonder of it all
Out on that verandah
Love was the only answer
We were lit up like that big old western sky
Watching lightning
Watching lightning
There were hard times out at Hillside
And the family had to sell
We shifted to Carnarvon
By the Indian Ocean swell
We still got each other
But we miss the life we had
We still talk about the big plan
One day we'll be going back
Watching lightning, out on the horizon
Waiting for the thunder
In the wonder of it all
And out on that verandah
Love was the only answer
We were lit up like that big old western sky
Watching lightning
Watching lightning
